"We announced this transaction in November 2013, and its closure, coupled with other previously announced deals, means we have achieved over $2 billion in dispositions within 12 months," said Hal Kvisle, President and CEO. "During the next 18 months, we will continue to focus our portfolio and aim to divest a further $2 billion of long dated, capital intensive assets. We will use proceeds from dispositions to maintain a strong balance sheet."
